UNIFORM POLICY
School staff and union representatives were consulted on this document and it was accepted and ratified
by the Governing Body
on: 9th June 2020
Review date: June 2022
Person responsible: Emilie Darabasz, Head of School
Years 7-11
Background to the policy
Our school uniform is an integral part of our community at FBA. The correct wearing of school uniform is
essential to promoting a sense of community within the school. It is our policy that all students should wear
the FBA School uniform with pride when attending school, on their way to and from school, or when
participating in school organised events outside normal school hours.
The DfE’s current guidance strongly recommends a number of important points for governing boards to
consider when setting a uniform policy. This include the importance of taking cost into account, including by
evidencing that the best value for money has been achieved from suppliers.
The Policy
At FBA the uniform is designed to be smart and practical. Our uniform reflects on the growing diversity of
our society and the local community which the school serves. The uniform which the school expects all
pupils to wear who come to the school, allows for flexibility so that there is equity within diversity.
